This is why I hate the Celtics coverage. Professional broadcasting is clearly a lost art. For an organization that once had Mike Gorman and Tommy Heinsohn. Defend Tatum who is kind of a bitch in his own right. And mock Jaylen Brown who did win a championship with the Celtics and Finals MVP.

Drew Carter: “Man, 19-6-6 that guy has a great PR team.” Brian Scalabrine: “Tatum must have some meatballs and marinara with the Bulls.” (h/t @TheCelticsDan) t.co/OaTnw7XG4A (via @LegionHoops)

Exactly this. The Celtics media will do everything they can to make any non-Celtics players in the moment the bad guy. Brown didn't want to get traded and he didn't want Milwaukee. The revisionist history is a joke. Brown and Tatum had real beef and didn't want to play together anymore.

Post Giannis-trade, the Athletic reported that JB didn’t want to be in MIL, which is why they chose the Heat’s offer. Scal has said things in the past that make me question his credibility. www.nytimes.com/athletic/738...

1. Tom Brady's raw reactions are nice to hear. Greg Olsen was scolded for having critical thoughts on the refs in the Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl after the James Bradberry holding call a few years ago. 2. The shamelessness of Goff here is embarrassing. 3. The 2026 NFL refs are a joke and a big problem.

Tom Brady: "No, my goodness. What is that?! There's no way!... That's definitely not roughing the passer!" Fox rules analyst Dean Blandino: "That's teach-tape tackle. That's not roughing the passer." 🏈🦓🎙️

I've claimed that he's the best play-by-play analyst out there and I stand by that. If they're really choosing JJ Watt at CBS or Kirk Herbstreit on Amazon over Aikman, then those networks are actively making their products worse. And if ESPN is choosing McAfee or Jason Kelce, that's disgraceful.

Troy Aikman realizes the end of his broadcast career could be coming after his pending divorce with ESPN. awfulannouncing.com/espn/troy-ai...

He's right about this. And I like Jokic, but the fans are welcome to respond in however they want to respond. If they boo and leave, they boo and leave. They're spending money to see you. It's not free. If they come back, it's because their invested. You satisfy them, they don't have to satisfy you.

If he can't handle this, then he can't handle anything. This is not criticism. Calling someone corny and telling him to leave his shirt on is not damning, at all. And these are amped up college students. If you take anything they say to heart, you're a sad excuse for a man.

this is what pat mcafee is big mad over lol

I'm out of my element when I say this, but everyone that has contributed to make this a shittier world will be brought to justice. Trump, Musk, and Zuckerberg will all have epic plights. There's no redemption for any of them and all of their names will live on in eternal shame.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Lula has been elected President of Brazil for a fourth term, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro.

Anyone who calls the cops because they think a 3-year-old is a threat should be the one thrown either in jail or a mental hospital. This is also blatant racism. If a white kid dominates in sports, it’s celebrated. Why is it a threat when it’s a black child? There’s an obvious uprising in racism.

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

The shamelessness of not even faking it anymore is uncanny. There are going to be 2 outcomes after the midterms. Either he's gone and there's another incident like January 6th, but probably worse since there's a point of no return now. Or he stays and this shitshow continues. He can't stay though.

President Trump on high gas prices: “I don’t give a damn...we’re making a freakin’ fortune.”

With better judgment and realizing what you want in life, you surround yourself with better people. The opportunity to leave behind toxic families/friendships creates more autonomy of choosing your community. There's many people I love having in my life now. That's gotten and gets better over time.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Real feud. Something went wrong. Tatum is artificial and superficial and will lie to please others. Brown wears his heart on his sleeve, no matter how raw it's feeling. While Tatum plasters his with whatever makes him look good. It'll be fine in the end, like Kobe/Shaq was, but it isn't now.

Boston Herald@bostonherald.com

Jayson Tatum said he was “just as much caught off guard as the rest of the world” by Jaylen Brown’s trade to the 76ers. Brown didn’t seem to believe him.

It's one of the more fun feuds in sports right now, but I'm totally team Aikman. He's the best play-by-play analyst. Tom Brady makes 37.5 million (no experience). Tony Romo was making 18 million (incoherent mess). Aikman was looking for 30 and he's better than both guys. And Joe Buck is an odd duck.

Joe Buck agreeing to a contract with 18 million while Troy Aikman is looking for 30 hurts him. They're the best team. I strongly believe they both could've gotten 30. Stand your ground. ESPN has the Super Bowl this year. The past Monday Night broadcasts were not good. Joe Buck did fuck him over.

They had Bills-Ravens right there to flex into that spot. But sure, let's watch 2 teams on the verge of self-destruction and teams that have serious questions about their head coaches futures and QB concerns with Daniels' injury history and Hurts' unfortunate situation.

The NFL decided against flexing Eagles-Commanders out of NBC's Week 8 Sunday Night Football window despite considering Browns-Steelers. awfulannouncing.com/nfl/not-flex...

Ew! I didn't even know about this. That's why it's so much harder to be a woman in sports media. Sean Payton is a gross old man. No guy ever has to worry about that. But because Charissa Thompson looks pretty, he feels the need to kiss her on the cheek? *eye roll* Okay. It was clearly unconsented.

This mindset of "All my ex's are bad" needs to stop. First off, you committed to them. You chose to try marry them. Second, if there's a track record of failed relationships, maybe look yourself in the mirror. It's so weak to blame ex's. It's on you. Don't bring it up unprompted on a postgame show.

The dude has blood clots in his calf and it is unknown how deep or how serious those blood clots are. This is the second time in as many weeks were an Eagles player isn't playing for health reasons, and the story is about how that player is stepping away is somehow acting out wrongly. Embarrassing.

The AI update on this site is beyond disappointing. It was never going to be a perfect social media app, but it wasn't Twitter. I like expressing my thoughts here and Twitter is a bot-infested cesspool. AI is not a tool for creativity. I'm repulsed that major platforms use it for creative purposes.

I know this country has become numb to school shootings, but people have to continue to be outraged and scared that this is happening. This doesn't happen in other countries. If we're prioritizing a sociopath's right to bear arms over the freedom of a child being in school, then something is wrong.

The real solution is to end the 2nd amendment. I do understand why that would upset people, even though the outrage gets more over the top with time. Psych evals, rubber bullets, there are much better solutions than doing nothing other than "thoughts and prayers." Tell that to a grieving parent.

A quick thought on the Street Fighter movie. I can't believe how wrong they got Ken's character. Movie Ken Masters was not Ken Masters from any of the other Street Fighter games. And when I think of the 4th most important hero character in Street Fighter, I don't think of Dan Hibiki. Bad movie.

Experiencing post game depression after completing Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave. It was great, despite it feeling incomplete. It was such a big and ambitious game. There was so much to explore. I hope the DLC has the other intended routes and new characters.

The problem with this stuff is the public reaction. It’s all the histrionics and vilifying. He felt his child was a victim of some sort of wrongdoing and used his best judgment to bring that attention to someone who would hold the other party accountable. It’s a tough position to be in as a parent.

She didn’t exactly go out gracefully. She blamed everyone else and didn’t even acknowledge the cheating scandal. It has to be one of her lowest moments in both her professional and personal life. She might just want to be honest and acknowledge how shameful she was for blaming everyone else.

And her having an affair with an NFL coach is not the most unethical thing. It’s unethical, but guys like Jay Glazer and Adam Schefter have less credibility if you look into their affairs with athletes/teams. But because it’s not sexual, it’s not as interesting. Punish those bums as well.

Pastrnak, Geekie, and Peterka had 7 points in this game. But they somehow had a +/- of 0. It's good that they crushed a bad team, but that is an irritating stat. I thought it would be a good performance from Peterka since it's his old team. These guys just can't be power play merchants.

David Pastrnak scored his first two goals of the season and added two assists as the Boston Bruins routed the Utah Mammoth 6-1 on Thursday. trib.al/onTRdvC

They were up 2-0. If they blow this, they should feel ashamed. Even if their season is an overachievement. Also, 15 pitchers used in this game. I know it's been common for a while now, but I hate what baseball has become with all these pitching changes in the postseason. Just go with your best guys.

I wonder if Brown did this on purpose just to scare his team and this flopping bum to let him know how much of an embarrassment and liability he is when he's falling over like a house of cards.

brickcenter.bsky.social@brickcenter.bsky.social

Joel Embiid ALREADY flopping and injuring his teammate 💀

Most people after losing a home game to an 0-4 team would probably be upset with his team or himself for throwing a game-ending pick. Not this guy. He's more focused on what an employee is saying who isn't even making .1% of his salary. Top tier bitch behavior and there's a history with this guy.

brickcenter.bsky.social@brickcenter.bsky.social

Dak Prescott SNITCHED on the employee that said “embarrassing” 😭

I appreciate the sincerity and honesty. Apologies are overrated and often unnecessary because the raw reaction is often the truest reaction. I do think reflecting and realizing other perspectives that call out potentially harmful behavior is important and I’m glad that was done.

However, this cycle is just going to repeat. Someone will step away or take some time away and open up about mental health struggles and be mocked for it. That cycle won’t break unless there’s serious suspension, demotions, or firings. Which is cruel, but I think that’s the best method for change.

This kind of energy is exhausting. Can’t acknowledge and celebrate 1 good week because the last 7 weeks have been the worst 7 weeks in your professional career. Despite being the MVP runner-up last year. Imagine carrying that energy towards friends or family.

Doubling down on this is one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard. Treasonous. Psychotic. Self-Destructive. The glorious downfall of this administration will be celebrated throughout history. He’s become one of the most heinous villains against humanity and his supporters have thrown theirs away.

Trump: You wanna see trauma? I said it the other day. Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles.

This is horrible commentary and this is why speaking up about your mental health is still something people hesitate to do. Lane Johnson didn’t even disclose why he was retiring. He just indicated mental health. Beyond shameful and harmful. I do think this commentary is the minority though.

"Now he calls it quits, not before the season. Not in the offseason…four games into the 2026 season, a dude that has been in the league forever, sits back and says I need to focus on my mental health" – Stephen A. Smith on Lane Johnson retiring

I can't imagine being a child and hearing that the President is willing to sacrifice your life, friends, and family because it's a "small price to pay." I used to be scared of much less. I feel for anyone who is scared. There shouldn't be any payment for anyone's life, let alone a city of people.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
